Biscodini Organ Trio - Lockdown

[GA Russell]

Curt Bisquera • Scott Healy • John Chiodini   Released 1/31/2021 for streaming and download on all platforms. Hudson City Records and Biscodini Organ Trio presents Lockdown biscodini.com hudsoncityrecords.com Contact: info@biscodini.com   Ten grooving and “radio friendly” jazz, RnB, soul and rock tracks from Los Angeles supergroup Biscodini Organ Trio. The Hammond B3-guitar-drums format is among the most durable combo configurations in the music. But its elasticity was perhaps never tested as greatly as on the Biscodini Organ Trio’s remarkable new release Lockdown, which was recorded and co-produced remotely during the nationwide pandemic quarantine of 2020 by three gifted, versatile Los Angeles-based musicians. –Chris Morris I’m not one to ever toot my own horn, but I’ll toot it for this band. This band is killing, and it stands up to anything that’s out there in this genre. –Anonymous Biscodini Band Member Tracks: The Mask (2:22) – Straight-ahead, short and sweet–with a touch of a retro vibe. Biscodini Boogaloo (3:55) – The title says it all. Donuts Spelled Backwards (4:45) Cool Afro-Cuban groove with an intricate jazz head, a soaring bridge, featuring detailed ensemble playing and guitar/organ interplay. 2020 Shuffle (3:26) – Killer medium-up blues shuffle – “Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Chicago anymore…” Karen Stay Home (5:12) – Slow and expressive jazz ballad…for all the Karens. Beau Did He (4:03) Motor City meets New Orleans meets Eddie Harris Canyon Road (4:46) Hip Bossa Nova, almost too hip. Song for My Father (4:46) Classic Rock take on the classic Horace Silver tune. 6 Ft. Distance (3:50) Funky compound meter groove with evocative head and tight playing. Swabbed (4:24) More funk, this time mixed with RnR, Pop, Latin percussion. Biscodini Organ Trio is: Drummer Curt “Kirkee B.” Bisquera –a rocker who has played with…everybody…but some of earliest pro experience came supporting his mother, a Hammond B3 player. Organist Scott Healy – a LA musical multitasker, Grammy nominee and longtime Conan band member whose grandma taught him Hammond organ at a tender age. Guitarist John “Qdini” ChioDini – a Left Coast legend residing on the short list of the most revered and brilliant jazz and pop guitarists. Anywhere.
